Connecting the Speakers

Read the following before connecting your speakers:

Turn off your amp before making any connections.

The nominal impedance of these speakers is 8 . Use only an amp that supports this impedance.

Pay close attention to speaker wiring polarity. Connect positive (+) terminals to only positive (+) terminals, and negative (–) terminals to only negative (–) termi- nals. If the speakers are wired incorrectly, the sound will be out of phase and will sound unnatural.

Connecting the Subwoofer

1

Using the supplied RCA cable, connect

 

the subwoofer’s LINE INPUT to your amp’s

SUBWOOFER PREOUT.

• Be careful not to short the posi- tive and negative wires. Doing so may damage your amp.

Connecting the Speaker Cables

1

Use the cables to connect each speaker’s

 

input terminals to the corresponding

 

speaker output terminals on your amp.
